First my apologies for the long silence and my gratitude for the many emails of support and encouragement. But the hard fact is that I’ve hit a wall, energetically speaking. I’ve been writing these reports weekly for ten years, starting as a faxed report sent to 10 friends and now almost 2,000 of you receive them. Lately, I’ve found myself dreading the task of writing when it used to be a joy. A very rewarding and challenging “straight” job takes much of my energy, on weekends I teach and see clients. I found I had no down time and need it.

So I’m not going to write weekly reports anymore. I’m going to take some time off – not sure how long – and then probably begin again to report to you, but not on a weekly basis. What feels comfortable and doable now are irregular reports, perhaps more like alerts, of special conditions I see coming up. (For the astrologer readers, you may find it informative to know that my progressed Mercury is in the last degree of Pisces, transit Saturn is square my ruler and square his natal position and quincunx my Sun.) Time for choices and moving on.

At some point, some years hence, I hope to devote myself full-time to astrology and writing, and I’m interested to know if some or any of you would pay for reports like mine, perhaps in an enhanced format.

I want to thank you all for your support, advice, and kind words. And I want to thank my beloved wife, Nikki, who’s edited and contributed ideas to this work every week.

May I suggest Lara Owen’s excellent monthly reports. You can subscribe by emailing lara@laraowen.com and putting “new subscriber” in the subject.

Please feel free to contact me and share your thoughts and questions. I’ll do my best to answer promptly.

Be well and be happy on this great adventure we’ve chosen to live through.

Nov 3, 2008 – Saturn makes an opposition to Uranus that echoes the Saturn – Uranus/Pluto opposition of March 6, 1966. Ex-hippies take note. On March 4th, John Lennon was quoted as saying "We're more popular than Jesus now." The revival of Sixties cultural themes begins now and builds slowly toward the Uranus – Pluto squares beginning in 2012.

November 15, 2009 – March 21, 2010 - Saturn makes a series of squares to Pluto newly in Capricorn. The end of business-as-usual politics. The nationalistic dinosaurs will enter their twilight times. The transition to organic regional government will not be smooth…the result may be some corporate feudal mixture. (Thanks to Rob Ryan for catching a typo in the date.)

September 24, 2012 – April 17, 2015 - Uranus in Aries forms his first major hard aspect to Pluto, a square angle, since they were aligned in the second half of the 1960’s. Hippie dreams may come true when the ecology and/or petroleum-based economies fail. Plan to live where there is food and water and you don’t need a car. Plan to live where you’ll know your neighbors…maybe even love them. What a thought! We may have to choose between eating grain on a commune or growing very thin in the city.
